For those wanting an inexpensive, yet still apparently *acceptable* system from their PC, I found the following at CNET.com the other day.

The Lepai has gone on my shopping list for the office / mancave when it gets finished (probably a couple of months away) so will let you know my impressions...

I just use a pair of self powered M-Audio AV40s. They were like $100, I think. They are an improvement over my old altec lansing computer speakers.

I have a pair speakers from an old snayo all-in-one, so am going to hook those up initially.
I like idea of being able to upgrade the components piece by piece and for $35 for the amp, I can't go too wrong...

I have 2 Klipsch ProMedia 4.1 sets that I have configured as a 7.2 setup, I have a total of $85 and a bit of repair time tied up in them. ;D
I have heard good things about Dayton Audio products and am considering replacing my Advent/Carver AV550S 15" sub in my TV room with 2 12" Daytons
and reusing the plate amp. The 15 has plenty of quantity but lacks in the quality department as it is rather muddy and monotone below ~35Hz.

My lounge room is currently serviced by a Logitech x530 setup. About $90 if I remember correctly.
It's not too shabby, to be honest...

Give a try to Audioengine. They are superb for the price. You can find them at Amazon.
